In the novel The Good Earth there is an evil character who wants food and money from Wang Lung. His uncle forces him to give money because he is his relative. A relative should not be like this he is lazy. Wang's uncle is so lazy he does not take care of his crops and his wife is fat and they do not care for work. Wang works for his food and saves his money instead of spend it. One day when Wang was sitting in his house his uncle came and asked for money. Wang sent him away without a word. Now the city was dying from starvation and Wang's uncle saw this as an opportunity to get back at Wang. He told the city that Wang had a lot of food and he wouldn't share any and they should go take it for themselves.
This section of the novel describes how the people are in despair, in the tragic flaw willing to do anything even rob someone for food. Altogether this is a tragic symbol in the novel stating that even though we are good friends we can turn enemy sooner than our friendship first began.

ReplyDeleteI really liked how you ended it, saying something that would make people think. Maybe next time though you could intertwine your opinion and the summary.. Good job joe!
ReplyDeleteI really like hering your opinion of these chapters. As far as writing goes, I found it great how you put the events chronologically. It was easy to understand how the events played out. I agree with Olivia in that instead of putting a sepperate paragraph for The text evidence and the symbolism, you should have mixed the symbolism and text evidence together. They both were great writing and opinions, but put together they would be easier to understand.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Olivia, I like how you ended leaving people think. Maybe on your posts you could add titles so we know exactly what you are writing about.
